Solution

The correct option is D HCl
HCl is a polar covalent compound.
Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms due to the difference in their electro-negativities. These compounds are called polar covalent compounds. An example is HCl, where both have different electro-negativities.
